The Photographs
Fifteen frames here. The full set of two hundred high-resolution photographs is in the album linked in the panel to the right.
Worth Knowing
The Becker radio does not work. Everything else on the car (gauges, speedometer, clock, emergency brake, windows, day/night mirror) does.
The sunroof is the detail worth travelling for. Very few of these coupés were ordered with one, and it changes the whole feel of the cabin.
